After Class Activities in Madrid

Our program allows you plenty of time to discover your new country, culture, traditions, and everyday life after your class is over. Join the locals to munch on tapas and postpone dinner until 11:00 p.m. Then follow the crowds to a wonderful play at Plaza Santa Ana, shake to the dance scene of La Latinaor or take in a show at Madrid s top flamenco clubs near Plaza Tirso de Molina. Wandering through the throng at the city's flea market El Rastro is an interesting way to experience some of the city's essence and shouldn't be missed.

  • Main Square

Once the location of an exotic marketplace (Plaza Mayor), where Arab merchants came to sell their wares, this beautifully proportioned, cobbled courtyard was begun by Philip II and completed by Philip III in 1619 - his statue stands proudly in the middle. The plaza was intended to serve as a marketplace and showplace - heretics were burned at the stake, saints canonised and bread was sold. Today, tourists outnumber the locals but the Plaza Mayor is still lively as it was in the past. Nearby Plaza Mayor, a locale that transitions into the Hapsburg section, offers more shops, restaurants and outdoor cafés. The streets that spill down from the Plaza's Arco de Cuchilleros constitute one of Madrid s busiest dining neighborhoods.

  • Retro Park

This lush 118-hectare (292-acre) park, Parque del Buen Retiro, in the heart of Madrid was formerly the private garden of Philip IV. Visitors can enjoy a stroll among the trees and rose garden, a boat ride on the lake near the towering 1902 monument to Alfonso XII, tarot readings from hovering fortune-tellers or a game of chess.

  • Gate of the Sun

The Gate of the Sun (Puerta del Sol) is Madrid s oldest surviving neighbourhood. Even today, much of the city (including the subway system) radiates from Sol, which is packed with shops, bars, restaurants and hotels.

In this neighbourhood, you'll also find the monument of the bear and strawberry tree (El Oso y El Madroño) which symbolises Madrid.

  • Bourbon Madrid

This district could almost be called "Museum Madrid" - here you'll delight in Spain's leading art institutions - the treasure-filled Prado (one of the world s top art museums), the Reina Sofia (which houses Picasso's Guernica), and the Thyssen-Bornemisza (offering two halls devoted to Impressionists and post-Impressionists).

The 3 museums are within a few blocks of each other along broad boulevards punctuated with monumental fountains and formal parks.
